A Line In The Sand

Some Soldiers Mom

Special thank to Lori for bringing this to my attention, and Blackfive for covering it so closely.  Some Soldiers Mom, a magnificent woman who I was fortunate enough to spend a few hours with on the Web of Support tour, has faced an extremely difficult 24 hours.  Her son was seriously injured in Iraq, suffering a spinal injury in an IED blast.  Updates continue to come in, but please keep Noah in your prayers as well as his family, they need all the support they can get.  Visit Some Soldier Mom here: http://somesoldiersmom.blogspot.com/.

Also, be sure to check out www.webofsupport.com today as well.  The soldier adoption program is growing by leaps and bounds and is being headed by PJ out of Carson City, NV.  If you're interested in adopting a soldier, please check in on the site and let PJ know you're interested!

If you are in the San Francisco or Sacramento area today, tune into KQED where I will be discussing milblogs with other members of the pannel.  Listening instructions below:

You can also listen to two syndicated KQED programs on public radio stations around the state and across the country.

Joe Nurre

Today, a family in Sacramento needs our prayers.  Joe Nurre, a young man who I went to college with at California State University Sacramento, died serving somewhere near Tikrit.  Joe was a good friend to many people in the Sacramento community.  He is a hero who served this country and gave his life for you, just like all the other men and women who have died in service of our nation.  When you pray today, pray for Joe's family, pray for our military in harms way, and be sure to tell God to pass a thank you on to Joe, we are forever indebted to men like him.
